The design is explained of a survey of the holdings of 30 first novels from 1979 in 100 medium-- and large-size academic libraries. First novels are discussed as a literary phenomenon and as an object of collection development. The survey findings are then presented and analyzed, with particular emphasis on the acquisitions budget and selection procedures. One major finding: few first novels are held other than those having advance publicity or honors. A discussion follows of whether the relationship between first novels and academic libraries is neglected, and why, and a rationale is given for paying greater attention to first novel acquisition. |
